Yep. It wears you down. Your world shrinks. Your ability to make money. Social. The whole lot. What can we do? There’s nothing we can do but keep going. Enjoy what we can in life. And accept our stutt...
Hell, no. I'd rather do a job that I like and don't feel horribly comfortable in. My stammer relatively mild these days, but I still hate talking to customers on the phone. There's persisting and dev...
I've felt this way most of my life. I'm 29 and I've been stuttering ever since I could remember. Although my stutter is mild compared to some others, its damaged my mental health to the point where I ...

I will write some positive aspects after many here are laughing them off ^^. I think I'm a very good listener because of it. Not just because as a stutterer you could think I don't like talking. But...
I wish I was confident enough to say to anyone that I have a stutter. I feel ashamed admitting it, but on the other hand trying to hide it is so tiresome 😢...
Work in retail. Since this is retail/medical I wouldn't be too worried about it. If you go in with your ID ready, even if they don't need to scan it, it will help you keep from having to verbally give...
Boxing journalist. Speak to people on the phone every day and then have to listen back to audio to transcribe interviews. I knew that my stammer was something I had to cope with and not let it stop me...

Nah, Your friends and partners through life will be legitimate., especially if they order for you from the passenger’s seat at the McDonald’s drive through. I can’t come up with a better positive....

My family moved around a lot, and I was always the new kid school. In a way, I was kinda forced the push though my fears and anxieties when it came to speaking.🗣️ The more I did the less fear I had ...
